aside from our 10 day trip to western new york, august was pretty uneventful. leading up to the trip, we were getting ready for it. and when we got back, we moved into back to school mode. nothing very exciting, so proceed at your own risk (of boredom). firstly, in baking related news, anna has […]
anna
mom and pop for the bride and groom.
this summer, my baby brother tied the knot with his lovely fiancee and mother to the world’s cutest nephew. despite having plenty of notice, i ended up procrastinating the making of a quilt as a gift for them. as the date grew closer, i waffled with indecision about the fabric and pattern choices. erika has […]
more cookie cakes by the annababy.
the annababy’s cookie cake business is BOOMING. she started an instagram and immediately started receiving orders. i’m not jealous. its not like i don’t have a little side cake business that only gets a fraction of the orders. it’s cool. really. anyways. here’s what she’s been up to. this first cake was purely for practice/portfolio […]
august in western new york.
usually, we head up to western new york for our annual summer pilgrimage in june or maybe early july. but this year, my baby brother’s wedding was set to take place in august, so we planned our excursion around the wedding date. we arrived the weekend before the wedding, so we could get in some […]
july things.
as i look at the photos from july, i am realizing it was pretty uneventful, outside of our trip to the beach. so, this will be quick. i promise. firstly. there was the fourth of july. my pal stephanie has neighbors who hail from the great city of buffalo (or, well, like me, near buffalo). […]
the end of an era.
well. after six and a half years of making memories and going on amazing adventures in our fleetwood jamboree sport rv, it was time to bid it farewell. we cleaned her all up, took down all of our personal touches, and handed her off to her new family (who happen to be friends of ours). […]
atlantic beach week. cape lookout shenanigans.
as previously mentioned, the weather for most of our atlantic beach week was pretty windy. for this reason, the big epic adventure we had planned kept getting postponed. but, finally, on our second to last day, we received word that our adventure was ON! what adventure, you ask? well, two-ish years ago, during a trip […]
atlantic beach week. minigolf day.
i’m not much of a minigolf person, but without much else to do with kids at the beach, and super fancy minigolf courses densely scattered all about area, one gets the urge to spend a million dollars to be really bad at hitting a ball with a stick into a tiny hole. so. that’s just […]
atlantic beach week. the aquarium.
our first non-beach excursion during our week at atlantic beach was a visit to the pine knoll shores aquarium. it’s the perfect size for a quick morning visit, leaving enough time for an afternoon in the sand. obviously, we took all the pictures in the photobooth type places… the ultraviolet room with all the jellyfish […]
atlantic beach week. the beachy times.
now that we no longer have an rv, we are forced to vacation like regular people again, staying in hotels and resorts and the like. for christmas last year, the grandlidboms gifted us with a week’s stay at own of their timeshare properties, so for our first such regular people vacation, we headed out to […]
